Class 10 – Trip to Sweden
After they had put away their Romeo and Juliet costumes and struck the stage set, (read the Review) we sent Class 10 off to Sweden, on a Wilderness Expedition in the back-of-beyond.
At the time of writing, they are in the beautiful forest and mountains around Idre Fjäll in North-Western Dalarna; a land that is still truly wild, and in most parts populated only by elk, reindeer, bears and birds.
